Who are we
to deem You
invasive?
We, the humans who
don’t restrain ourselves
overstep every ecosystem
to satisfy whim
restrain You from inhabiting a wood.
We, who
trash handy plantain, dandelion, purslane
trash intact habitat
for junk food and trash
trash Your berries as junk.
Who
carpet creation with concrete
choke green photosynthesis with grey paralysis
to outspread our paths and palaces
fear Your presence as aggressive.
Humans who
through scientific prowess
menace kith and kin
with extinction
extinguish Your migration.
We, the humans who
hack the yielding hips of Earth
explode Her breasts mine Her arteries
for our addictions
stymie Your vining through poison munitions.
Who we are
cannot fathom
what Earth is unfurling.
May be
Honeysuckle
to reflect upon.
Honeysuckle
emissaries on
reconnaissance.
May be
Honeysuckle
are decomposing
this
Now.
Maybe
Earth wants
Her biome
we call home
to become
fallow
for
what
may
follow
